I truly cannot believe that so many people on here who are supposed to know something about MMA think Oliviera is going to beat Makhachev. He is going to get absolutely exposed here.

Will be looking forward to all your excuses on Sunday.

Länsberg vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
If/when Oliveira beats Khabib Light in the 1st round, does it prompt the undefeated ex-champ out of retirement? Another question: Does that destroy Islam's career or could he recover?

Brother this is number 1 ********.

I bet 99% of people who are picking Oliviera were calling him a quitter just 3 fights ago

Zubaira should have smashed him skill wise
 But glad it got cancelled because if he had a dodgy weight cut we could have lost our money

It sucks that Tukhugov vs Almeida is cancelled. That would've been a good fight. I'm honestly not surprised, because Zuba usually struggles making weight. I hope they will rebook this fight though.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 515 Points   |   Tied for 1324th

Oliveira vs. Makhachev
Islam Makhachev, SUB, R4
Makhachev gonna smash your boy. This is a mismatch.

Sterling vs. Dillashaw
T.J. Dillashaw, DEC
Both are juiced. Only 1 got caught but now has a better doctor. Everyone seems to have forgotten how Denzel Sterling won the belt. He also retained it by being good at hugging another man. Difference is that Yan seemed to enjoy that but I think TJ is more into girls and will stand up.

Yan vs. O'Malley
Petr Yan, DEC
Closer than you think. But white snoop dog is still probably a bit too inexperienced to take on the robot. This could go either way though.

Dariush vs. Gamrot
Mateusz Gamrot, TKO, R2
Benny did not know that Elon Musk is part owner of Endeavour so technically his boss. So when he called him out because his Tesla got delayed Dr Evil matched him up with Makhachev and now Gamrot. Sorry Benny, you will need disabled parking after this one.

Chookagian vs. Fiorot
Manon Fiorot, TKO, R3
Chookagian will try to create a force vaccum by punching the air around Fiorot. But she is French so she won't understand this. Also this will not work in a humid desert environment Abu Dhabi so The Beast will win.

Muhammad vs. Brady
Sean Brady, SUB, R2
Remember the Name? Stupidest fighter name ever. Remember the submission.

Muradov vs. Borralho
Caio Borralho, DEC
Neck tattoo vs gay **** star. Who do you think wins?

Oezdemir vs. Krylov
Nikita Krylov, TKO, R3
Father time has no time for No Time. Too slow, too hittable and Krylov will take him down.

Nurmagomedov vs. Omargadzhiev
Abubakar Nurmagomedov, DEC
Gadzhi is a fraud. So is Abu. But can't see him losing and going back home to the Nurmagomedov house. Win or homeless.

Petrosyan vs. Dobson
Armen Petrosyan, DEC
Close one again but cardio should win. Also if you survive Robocop that's impressive

Mokaev vs. Gordon
Muhammad Mokaev, DEC
Everyone thinks Mokaev gonna finish the alien. Maybe. But I could see this going to decision. Mokaev aint a finisher.

Länsberg vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
Elbow Queen? You mean L - bow queen. About to collect another L like L - Andrew

Thank God everyone made weight. Was really worried for Charles. He looked hyped as ****. The odds should never be in favor of any either fighter. It's a 50/50 fight. But I am not gonna doubt Charles again. He is going to win and become the LW goat. And neeeeeew! (still)
